Thursday, May 30Update from Ranger Jonathan: From the storms that
passed through on Tuesday night, the worst of the damage was to the footbridge
that crosses the Connoquenessing Creek, which will require repairs. Other
affected areas include the camp's amphitheater area and corral, which remained
underwater late Wednesday morning. As of this morning, there’s nothing new to
report from last night, but we’re not in the clear yet. The flash flood watch
has moved to today, from 11 a.m. through this evening.

Following severe storms, our Camp Redwing in Butler County
experienced flooding, and we are bracing ourselves for more storms; the nearby
borough of Zelionople was declared to be in a state of emergency.

At Girl Scouts Western Pennsylvania, safety is our top
priority. The road to Camp Redwing is currently open, but we ask that no
one visit the camp at this time. We will provide updates regarding usage of
camp facilities and plans for cleanup and repairs as information becomes
available. We are committed to making Camp Redwing safe and ready for a
season of summer fun and adventure as soon as possible.

Girl Scouts always ask how they can help their communities
in times of need. Here are some ways Girl Scouts, our families, and
neighbors can step up to help Camp Redwing and the affected communities:

Help your Girl Scouts research local disaster relief organizations that
provide support to families affected by the storms. Girl Scouts can
volunteer, donate items, or give troop proceeds to organizations helping
those in need.\

Soon, we will be coordinating a cleanup day to make GSWPA Camp Redwing safe and ready for summer. Please use this form to let us know that you're interested in lending a hand!
